Off-Campus Access
Accessing digital resources off-campus requires an extra step to verify you are a Nelson student, staff, or faculty member.
Begin by selecting the digital material you wish to access, like from one of these:
(Not sure where to begin your research? Ask a Librarian: library@nelson.edu)
Enter your Blackboard/Nelson credentials
Almost all library resources require you to login using the same username/password you use to access Blackboard or Nelson email. Your username is usually your first name, middle initial, and last name: johnedoe. Your password is unique to you. If you need your password reset, please talk to the IT office, or contact ithelpdesk@nelson.edu.
Enjoy browsing!
That's it! You should now be able to search the digital resources. Some databases may require you to log in to save your resources to a folder, or you can email articles to yourself as well. Any vendor account, like an Ebsco folder, is a separate account from your Nelson library account at nelson.edu/library.
